  • Operate, calibrate, tune, and optimize liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry instrumentation, including triple quadrupole mass spectrometers and ultra-performance liquid chromatography systems; perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting according to standard operating procedures.
  • Review, interpret, integrate, and summarize chromatographic and mass spectrometry data; identify data abnormalities and initiate appropriate troubleshooting studies using sound scientific judgment.
  • Prepare protocols, technical summaries and reports, Good Laboratory Practice-compliant laboratory notebook entries, and data packages for project outcomes.
  • Collaborate with Project Management and cross-functional stakeholders to plan work, communicate progress, and meet study objectives within tight timelines.
  • Help evaluate new technologies and techniques and support laboratory process improvements.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience preparing data for a Laboratory Information Management System, such as Watson.
